Embedding a dynamic file using the "view file" macro

Question

The view file macro allows embedding documents (.ppt, .pdf, etc) on a Confluence wiki page. Limitation is, documents must be on attachments.

So question, is there a way to load dynamically a file located into an SCM's deposit?

P.S. Current SCM: Perforce.

UPDATE: As I see, there is no official Perforce plugin.

Answer 1

You may of course include a link to that file, if Perforce provides a way to link items. We use that a lot, to include content that is stored in Subversion, and document the standing, the usage, ... in Confluence then. The user has to click on that link to get that file, but I think it is necessary anyway, because your authorization rules are not known to Confluence.
